Life's Thrills

Hello!!

Yep! Inspiration for a post has hit me at last and the consequence I pay for such a long dry spell? I'd forgotten my password for this blog! ha ha But persistence prevails and here is that wayward ramble rattling about my head long enough to post it to blog :D

Life's thrills- Those pinnacle moments in one's life that mark a notch in your heart and mind far exceeding the other highs and lows that occur in living. For example, your first kiss, a heartache,loss of virginity, the birth of a child, not necessarily a major moment in standard sense of life ... as my examples may imply.. but a moment in life to you personally that ascends to that highest level obtainable to be both sentimental and memorable for eternity to you. Those moments that..change you.

I have pondered my moments of life these past * insert number here * years and call it age or call it life's changes bringing forth a melancholy reminiscence of things, I began to wonder how interesting it would be to learn of what is a life's thrill to others.

I have had the standard example of course of first kiss, birth of my two sons, loss of family, death of marriage.. those moments of extreme high or low that stick with you for life. But I have also had monumental life thrill as in the night I heard David Csiszer perform "Simple Kindness" for the first time. To hear something I had written from my heart be sung to such fantastic musical melody.. a song born from friendship... That was a Life Thrill.

The very moment I stepped through customs and onto Australian soil having gone alone and succeeded is a moment I shall always recall with all the thrill as the moment it first occurred. My journey to Winnipeg as well as my first visit to Oregon to see Jaycatt and our first face to face moment in the airport is a moment in life I shan't ne'er forget. ...Bothell moments... Also, seeing my Father suffer his heart attack in front of me and my frozen inability to move as I watched my brother and Aunt do CPR on him a moment of time intense in my life. Reciting my poetry live in SL the first time was a thrill in life that reached that peak level. DJ-ing for the first time, and more recently my decision to move brought me such a moment. To venture away from old and the norm.. to fresh beginning of unknown.

We all have memories.. childhood stories, adolescent adventures, and grown up life tales the highs and lows of living but how many have those moments set higher ...or sadly lower.. than the rest? What are some of your life's thrills?

Life's Thrills:

Moments of time captured to heart
memories of feelings ne'er to part
snapshots of impact nothing can kill
cherish forever your life's thrill

Highs and lows the moments that change you
recalled in the mind most clearest in view
great joy and elation felt at its peak
or moments so low, no words to speak

minds memory hearts elation's
recalling feelings of times creation
personal scrapbook of life to fill
cherish forever your life's thrill

Have a wonderful day and thanks for reading
